PREPERATION TASK

We decided to do a solo artist as our magazine advert, and our chosen genre is pop. We looked at artists such as Rihanna, Katy Perry, Jason Derulo, Jessie J, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, all BIG pop icons, but all share the same thing in common when it comes to album covers/posters/advertisement etc.

They all use close ups of the artists faces or try to do shoulders up shots, they use heavy makeup, emphasizing lips and eyes for example Jessie J is known for having diamantes on her lips but this has also been done by Rihanna, Pixie Lott, and other famous pop artists, so we have taken this idea and are going to include this in our magazine advert. Most of the albumn covers or other advertisements we have looked at have not had much background most of the colour has been on the face, or used with makeup or jewellery, and majority of the time the costume/outfit is not shown, so our main focus in our magazine advert will be makeup. For our location we will use the photography studios so we can have a clean white background and use appropriate lighting when needed, and we will use things like bright coloured necklaces, bracelets, earring and rings, as well as eye shadow lipstick and hair to make the statement of POP. We also looked at fonts that have been used on the posters and albumn covers and most of them are bold, and stood out from the rest of the image, they have backgrounds or light around them to emphasise who the artist is and their name. Sometimes they include the name of the song underneath but in a slightly smaller font, so looking at these it will be the same in our magazine advert. The overall colour scheme of our magazine advert will be bright complimentary colours, as well as contrasting colours, like pinks, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. When taking our photos we will think about the composition, like having the artist in the middle of the shot, looking at the camera, or looking away, using their hands on their face to see jewellery and nails etc.
